Follow this procedure to turn on the power of the D1200 and
each connected device.
Before you turn on the power, be sure to set the volume
of each device to the minimum position, and turn on the
power switches starting with the “upstream” devices
that output the audio signal.
1 Lower the D1200’s [MASTER] fader to –∞.
Lower the volume on external devices to the minimum
position.
2 Turn on the power of external input devices, such as a
keyboard that sends an audio signal to the D1200.

power.
The display will show the opening message. Then the
[SONG] “SelSong” tab page will appear.
The song number that had been selected when you
turned off the power will be selected.

the monitor system to which the audio from the D1200
is being sent.
2-3. Turning the power off
Turn off the power when you are finished all operations
such as song playback and recording. Use the following pro-
cedure to turn off the power of the D1200 and of each con-
nected device.
Never disconnect the AC/DC power supply until the
power has been turned completely off. Doing so may
cause data to be lost.
When turning the power off, set the volume of all devic-
es to the minimum position, and turn off the power
switches starting with the “downstream” devices to
which the audio signal is being sent.
Audio that you record on the D1200 and mixer settings
etc. that you make are saved automatically when you se-
lect or change songs, or when you turn off the power.
However, effect settings you edit outside of Modeling
mode will be lost if you turn off the power without sav-
ing them.

side of Modeling mode, save them (→p.43).
